Well this was soooo the year to teach this lesson. I have been reading the novel, WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE, to my students now for the last 5 years.  Every year in the fall, they have always created their own "wild thing".  The movie came out on saturday, which myself, and 2 other teachers all went to see. I loved it. I don't think really any super young kids should see it, just simply due to that people seem to forget that the book is about a mischievous boy, and monsters!!!

 

 

I got this shirt right before the movie....I was so excited my students LOVED me wearing it to school today!!! :)

More Halloweenie artwork!

Oh the perks of being a teacher I still get to swing and the kids love me for it! :)

 

My Kinders have been hard at work on their first halloween project. We read A Very Busy Spider, by Eric Carle. Take a look at their beautiful webs!

More Students at work!

My newly 4th Graders hard at work...

Took a few more pics of my students working on some of their fabulous art projects :)

Back to School!

I have decided to keep anyone that cares up to date with my art lessons and such! This is my first blog, hope it doesn't bore you all to much! It's a brand new school year. This is my fifth year teaching. It has already flown by--The first 2 months of teaching thus far that is! We are about to head into Halloween projects. The theme for this year is all about GREEN. Going Green that is! We are all trying to make more projects out of recycled goods. With a budget nearly cut way more than just in half, I have had to turn to other alternative ideas to help educate my students in their artistic endeavors! Here are my kindergartener's first art assignment. It was on the different variations of LINE and COLOR and PATTERN. They did great. I drew the shoe template and they had to fill in the sock with lines. I left the coloring all up to them!

Here are my first grader's night time cityscapes. It was our first partial recycled art project with the use of newspaper!

Kindergarten's Picasso Bouquets!
